Abstract:
PURPOSE:Platinum-based chemotherapy is the recognized first-line treatment for metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, no standard treatment regimens have been established. This phase II study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a paclitaxel, cisplatin and 5-FU combination in metastatic and/or recurrent NPC. METHODS:Patients with evaluable metastatic and/or recurrent NPC were entered into this study. Treatment consisted of paclitaxel at a dose of 135 mg/m(2) on day 1, cisplatin 25 mg/m(2)/day from day 1 to day 3 and 5-FU-continuous infusion for 120 h at a variable dosage from 600 to 1,000 mg/m(2)/day according to prior radiation. This regimen was repeated every 3 weeks. RESULTS:A total of 95 patients were enrolled; 92 patients were evaluable for response. The overall response and disease control rates were 78.9 and 93.6 %, respectively. At a median follow-up of 24.8 months, the respective median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival were 22.7 months (95 % CI 18.6-26.9 months) and 8.6 months (95 % CI 7.7-9.5 months). Toxicities were moderate and manageable. Grade 3/4 toxicities included leucopenia (14.7 %), neutropenia (17.9 %), anemia (3.2 %), thrombocytopenia (6.4 %), nausea (4.2 %), vomiting (9.5 %), stomatitis (9.5 %), diarrhea (3.2 %), aminotransferase (2.2 %) and sensory neuropathy (3.2 %). CONCLUSION:Triplet combination chemotherapy with paclitaxel, cisplatin and 5-FU is an effective and safe option in the front-line treatment for recurrent and/or metastatic NPC. The encouraging results with high response rate and long OS suggest that this regimen might be especially considered where tumor shrinkage is required.
